Intro to digital media at Tasmanian School of Art _Spring School.
Was quite a challenge to get ppl away from the screen and to thinking about the tools and how Free and Open Source software provides to artists and designers - beyond just free alternatives to established tools from
Photoshop to Final Cut..
Tried to encourage a lot of them to keep online process journals. And use the Internet ie. whose infrastructure is based on free software and open standards - is an obvious example of such an adaptable, collaborative artistic medium.

Contemporary Art meets linux.conf.au--> This year linux.conf.au is doing something a little different. In keeping with the OSS remix culture, linux.conf.au 2009 is partnering with contemporary artists to mix and remix the complementary ideas of two communities.
"Batteries Not Included" is a participatory contemporary arts project that will combine the arts with linux.conf.au. It is wide in its focus - from the environment to architecture to music (and its copyright) to spirituality to code (under the Artistic licence, of course) - it needs one thing, your input!
CHECK it out HERE and have a divination. This was curated as a part of Kevin Leong's art group at Linux.conf.au LCA2009 -art group.

experiments in transmission based aesthetics presented by sister0.
Medium: Digital c prints on canvas. game- mod.
SONA GALLERY – CRN MURRAY/WARWICK STREET, Hobart, Tasmania.
16 – 31 November. ***Opening 19 November 21:00***
This is the first show in a series of studies around illegitimates, and bricoleurs: who inherit the memetic waste that washes downstream.
We look through via eyes of the main character, sister0, who lives in the wreckage of the new dark ages, inherits neo-liberal capitalist waste, wanders through its discarded wardrobe; transforms and plays with it.
